An April evening on the west coast of Islay. The sun is reflecting on the water of Machir Bay and the North Channel, stretching out to the Atlantic. The view is from the Kilchoman dunes, looking towards Coull Point and Eilean an Tannais-sgeir to the left of it.

A sunny October afternoon at the south coast of Islay, the ruin of Dunyvaig Castle in the mild sunlight seen from Lagavulin.
